    I'm confused. Did you love it or hate it? Or both?

    Personally, I thought Toy Story 3 was pretty awful, but that's just me. And I mean that almost literally, it really does seem that it's just me in that camp. :P

    Can we agree that Up was nice for eight minutes but after that failed to maintain a believable suspension of disbelief?

    I was less unhappy with the suspension of disbelief than I was with the obnoxious animal sidekicks and the kid only really having one bearable moment in the entire script after the first 8 minutes or so.

    The villain's story of past visitors was a great scene, but otherwise I would agree that the film after the very first few scenes was pretty bad. I have a similar opinion of Wall-E, actually. Though, like Wall-E, I do think Up's starting moments are really quite brilliant, the bulk of those two movies is at least obnoxious.

    Now I'm interested in knowing your opinion of 'How to Train Your Dragon'.

    The only Pixar movie I've seen and not liked is Ratatouille, to tell the truth. The only Pixar movie I haven't even seen part of now is Bolt.

    I wouldn't know. The trailers looked obnoxious to me, and I was never under any real social pressure or obligation to see it.

    Bolt wasn't Pixar. It was just Disney.
  • edited May 2011
    Just to clarify, Pixar's films are:

    Toy Story
    A Bug's Life
    Toy Story 2
    Monsters Inc.
    Finding Nemo
    The Incredibles
    Cars
    Ratatouille
    WALL-E
    Up
    Toy Story 3
    Cars 2
    Brave
    Monsters University

    Anything else you've seen, like Bolt, Meet the Robinsons, or Tangled is just Disney.

    Anything else you've seen distributed by Disney. I've seen DreamWorks films mistaken for Pixar, or many CG films by other studios being mistaken for DreamWorks.
  • edited May 2011
    In which case I've seen at least most parts of every released Pixar film and have only not like Ratatouille

    Why the hell are the enemies in Penumbra aliens with long red dangling peepees, and why is it so seriously funny.

    why do I have zero interest in seeing 3D movies? I'm all for the technology...but maybe I'm too old fashioned. I like my movies flat.

    Yeah, that probably should've occurred to me. Maybe I was just in denial.

    Why no ", hardly...." Was it because it sounded like it could of been a sexual , perverse thing? Because originally I haven't gone there, until you left it out .

    This could be bad, I could turn into a riot, get banned again. I'm sort of worried here. I shouldn't say so much.

    So I finished LEGO Pirates 100% on 3DS... and the 3DS version doesn't have the amazing bonus level the consoles have for getting 100%.

    I'm a nerd, I'll admit. Not so much for games though. Music and somewhat movies.

    I'm the same. I'm not really sure why, but if I go to see a film I prefer to see it in 2D. I've only seen one film in 3D thinking about it, and while I enjoyed it a lot, I doubt I'll go see another unless whoever I'm going with really wants it in 3D. I guess really I just get sort of distracted by it. In the 3D film I did go see (which was Coraline, by the way) I remember realising I'm in the cinema and taking of the glasses a few times just to see what the screen looks like. I prefer to be fully immersed in the films when I watch them and I get that with 2D. Maybe it was just because it was my first 3D film that I found myself doing that though. I don't really know.
  • edited May 2011
    You probably shouldn't even bother with most major theater chains, as they're fucking up 2D showings as well.
  • edited May 2011
    Thinking about it further, I don't think I've been to the cinema since seeing Coraline in 3D, so I wouldn't really know about the 2D films being dimmer or not. What I do recall though, is enjoying the 2d version of Coraline (on DVD) quite a bit. It's definitely true that the 3D version of it was a much darker picture. I remember thinking that at the time too, because I noticed that the glasses that are used were tinted. Thought it strange at the time as it was for indoor use, but like I said, that's my only 3D experiance so I don't know enough about it.

    I figured when Nintendo Week said the big 3ds exclusive feature was that if you streetpass someone, you get more studs. An object you get hundreds of per level:rolleyes:

    That's just wrong. I'm all for 3D movies (what can I say? Current day 3D is just really good), and the darker picture is to be expected there, but when that screws with 2D films, something needs to be done.

    I learned something new last night. If you have a bottle of wine signed by someone famous, don't put it in the refrigerator!

    It was the kind of wine that is supposed to be chilled, and thankfully, they weren't THAT famous. I didn't have to stand in line for 10 hours to get the bottle signed or anything. It was signed in gold Sharpie on the bottle itself. Problem is, when you take the bottle out of the refrigerator and into the regular air, it starts getting condensation on it, and the Sharpie doesn't hold up well to that. It starts dripping. I wound up having to put the bottle on a paper towel to make sure the Sharpie drippings didn't ruin anything.

    Oh well, I really wanted the wine more than the autographs anyway.

    I've always admire that stage of a woman's life when she opens up like a rose blossom in spring, untamed by the other forces of nature, holding onto her vigor. Like the sun in the sky that holds on to its brilliance, nature has crest her body and for now she radiates with simplicity, beauty, youth, freedom. A young woman free to experiment, live out her life, free to feel things for the first time as a woman.

    The spring breeze that has wrapped her up so tightly and yet smoothly to her soft beautiful skin, her beautiful curves, a gentile breeze smoothly cresting the surface of her body.

    Everything calm, gentile, nature's sweet quiet sound , the bird's chirping, innocence. A day out in the sun.

    Is it wrong that I admire such beauty and that I admire a healthy woman? Is it wrong that I admire a woman who ages like a Phoenix , burning ,fiercely from within, from the ashes we've came from, refuses for such beauty to die, such beauty living on, a testament over the centuries of the beautiful bodies of mature women all over time?

    A woman who can tame that fire, that spirit burning deep inside of her ,that beauty where she has matured into a woman for the first time in her life, where she has reached her spring!? Is it wrong that I desire to at least while I'm young to witness, to touch, feel such a woman? Such grace, such beauty, form! Is it wrong that I desire for the sound of innocence, sweet birds chirping in spring?

    Nature has been tamed, it's flame burning fiercely inside, where it's not touched, not felt, not bothered. Is it wrong that I want to touch that flame, feel that flame, experience it's temperament and consume my self in it's utter brilliance and beauty? Is it wrong to want to feel that gentile breeze over her skin!?

    Is it wrong that I admire a healthy woman, is it wrong that I desire to be with a healthy woman?

    White people, on the other hand, are just as stupid and wacky as sitcoms make out.
